Miranda speaks two languages: Menominee and English. She also plays on her basketball team. However, two Thursdays ago she was suspended for one basketball game because she spoke Menominee to a fellow classmate during class.

About

Avatar i blog about anthropology, with a few personal opinions and anecdotes thrown in. i try not to make posts about subjects that are already trending on tumblr. i make an effort to share information that may be of interest but has been missed by the radar. dig my archives like an archaeologist with a new trowel. i do this because i have anthropological super powers bestowed upon me by the gods of academia. none of which are that powerful, aside from the mind bullets.

please check out the tumblrs i follow. there are many anthro related posts. although some of the tumblrs i follow are now tumblr tombs. other tumblrs represent populations i'm researching or perspectives i'm trying to better understand.
